Chapter 34: Once Dreams
Huo Jingyuan looked at Qiao Ruoqing, and his eyes became a little cold again.
Understanding what Huo Jingyuan meant, she hurriedly began to explain: "Brother Huo, it's not that I don't trust you, I think that I always have to grow, if I rely on you for everything, then what can I do in the future?" ”
Huo Jingyuan turned his gaze away, and after a while, he said the word "good".
Although this answer is very simple, Qiao Ruoqing is still very satisfied.
After all, as long as Huo Jingyuan was willing to help, she was already grateful.
After finishing his business, Huo Jingyuan asked again: "What are the arrangements for this weekend?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing thought about why Huo Jingyuan asked this question, blinked her eyes, and replied very simply: "No, what's wrong?" ”
Huo Jingyuan nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "My mother said that you should go to the house for dinner on the weekend." ”
Qiao Ruoqing only remembered when Huo Jingyuan said this, she said that she was going to visit Tang Lan, but there have been too many things in the company recently, and she has never found time.
With a feeling of weakness in her heart, Qiao Ruoqing didn't even dare to look at Huo Jingyuan, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I should visit my uncle and aunt...... Brother Huo, don't worry, I will definitely go this weekend. ”
Suddenly remembered something, she asked again: "By the way, Brother Huo, what does Aunt Tang like?" I can't go empty-handed, I have to bring some gifts. ”
Huo Jingyuan moved his lips, and his tone of voice was not serious: "Whatever." ”
Qiao Ruoqing let out a relieved "oh", and her face changed as soon as she turned her face.
Why are you so stingy? Didn't she apologize for everything just now? He still remembered it, and he didn't tell her Aunt Tang's preferences.
It is said that gifts should be given to her liking, and she doesn't know anything, isn't that a loss?
After leaving the hotel, Qiao Ruoqing sat in the car, looking at the regressing scenery outside the car window, and asked Zhou Liang who was driving the car: "You say, I will visit Huo's house, what should I bring?" ”
Zhou Liang glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Qiao Ruoqing's face sideways, which seemed to be a little sad.
Zhou Liang also knew a little about the relationship between Tang Lan and Qiao Ruoqing, thinking that Tang Lan loved Qiao Ruoqing so much, he shouldn't care about this, so he replied: "Didn't Mr. Huo just say casually?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing immediately glanced at him, "That's his mother, of course he said casually, I'm an outsider, I can't really be casual, right?" ”
Supporting her chin with her hands, Qiao Ruoqing felt that it was really unreliable to find the opposite sex for this kind of thing, and it was better to find the same sex.
It just so happened that there was nothing to do after getting off work today, Qiao Ruoqing simply asked Shi Shi to go shopping with her, and asked Shi Shi to help choose gifts for Tang Lan and Huo Jingyuan's father, Huo Jiang.
When she arrived at the mall, Shi Shi saw Qiao Ruoqing's solemn look, and leaned in front of her and asked, "Ruoqing, how are you and Mr. Huo doing?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing was concentrating on choosing gifts, and when she suddenly heard this question, she was a little confused, and looked back at Shi Shi, "What's the matter?" ”
"That's ......" Shi Shi pondered for a moment and used a more conservative statement, "I see that you have to go to his house on the weekend, so I am curious, so I will ask." ”
Qiao Ruoqing smiled and explained: "Brother Huo's mother used to have a good relationship with my mother, and the reason why Brother Huo has been helping me during this time is also because of Aunt Tang's relationship. ”
Looking at Shi Shi, Qiao Ruoqing asked with some doubts: "I remember that I told you all this." ”
Shi Shi rolled her gaze, "Don't you think that Mr. Huo doesn't seem to be different from others to you?" ”
"I know." Qiao Ruoqing replied very calmly, "Because Aunt Tang is here, if he doesn't help me, Aunt Tang will be unhappy." ”
Speaking of this, Qiao Ruoqing remembered another thing, "By the way, you said, Brother Huo has helped me so much, should I also buy him some gifts?" ”
Shi Shi was startled, and looked at the simple girlfriend in front of her with wide eyes, "Ruoqing, you have to think about it, you can't give gifts casually between the opposite sex, otherwise it's easy to give something wrong!" ”
Qiao Ruoqing was stunned, and hurriedly put back the thing she had just held in her hand, feeling palpitations: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true." Shi Shi touched her chin with her hand, and helped Qiao Ruoqing think of a way very seriously, "If you really want to thank Mr. Huo, then just invite him to a meal every now and then." ”
Qiao Ruoqing began to be a little suspicious, "Please eat?" ”
Hearing a strong distrust in Qiao Ruoqing's tone, Shi Shi said seriously: "Yes, this is the best way!" You said if you give something away, do you know what people like? Putting that aside, others may not be able to use it, right? Eating is different, people have to eat every day! ”
Qiao Ruoqing couldn't help but give Shi Shi a thumbs up, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of admiration.
This makes so much sense, she can't find any reason to refute it!
Picking up a jade bracelet, Qiao Ruoqing asked, "What about sending it to Aunt Tang?" How about this? ”
"As long as it's sent by you, then your Aunt Tang will definitely like it." Shi Shi replied sincerely.
Qiao Ruoqing pursed her lips.
It seems to be the case, after all, no matter what she does, Aunt Tang will stand by her side and support her, and no matter what she does, Aunt Tang will think she is very sensible.
So, Qiao Ruoqing carefully selected for a while and chose a pair of jade bracelets as a gift for Tang Lan.
As for Huo Jiang, Qiao Ruoqing bought a cup of tea, and she remembered that Huo Jiang seemed to like this variety of tea.
This mall is located in the center of the city, it is very busy, there are a lot of people coming and going every day, and the shops inside are also very complete, basically selling everything.
Coming out of the tea shop, Qiao Ruoqing and Shi Shi took the escalator upstairs, and the right hand side of the escalator happened to be a specialty store for dancing shoes.
"Ruoqing, do you have anything else to buy?" Shi Shidong looked at the surrounding shops and shops hopefully, and didn't forget to talk to Qiao Ruoqing, "If not, let's go eat first, I'm a little hungry." ”
After waiting for a while, Shi Shi didn't wait for Qiao Ruoqing's answer.
Shi Shi felt strange, turned her head to look, and saw Qiao Ruoqing staring at the dancing shoe store on the right, staring intently.
The corners of her lips tightened, and there seemed to be a deep sadness in her eyes.
Realizing something, Shi Shi hurriedly grabbed Qiao Ruoqing's arm, just when the escalator arrived, she pulled Qiao Ruoqing to step on the ground, and took this opportunity to turn Qiao Ruoqing in a direction, "Ruoqing, let's go and see the clothes, don't just buy things for others, buy some ...... for yourself"
Before she finished speaking, Qiao Ruoqing gently held her hand and gently took her hand away from her arm.
Turning her gaze back to the store, Qiao Ruoqing pursed her lips, "Shi Shi, I want to go in and have a look." ”
Shi Shi immediately frowned and blocked in front of Qiao Ruoqing, "Ruoqing......"
Knowing what she was worried about, Qiao Ruoqing smiled at her calmly, "I'm fine, I just want to go in and have a look." ”
Seeing Qiao Ruoqing's determined appearance, Shi Shi couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to nod, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”
The smile on Qiao Ruoqing's face deepened a little, and she took Shi Shi's arm, and the two entered the store together.
Qiao Ruoqing used to practice dancing, because the dancers were good, so she practiced very diligently.
This is also the thing she has insisted on for the longest time in the past 20 years, except for Song Mingyuan.
She once dreamed that she could stand on the top stage, show her beautiful dancing, and become a beautiful landscape in the eyes of others.
It's just that that dream was shattered later, and not only did she not become a dancer, but she also lived a life that did not see the light of day for several years.
When the salesperson of the specialty store saw a customer coming in, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "What do you want to see?" If you like it, you can try it, our shoes are very good......"
Seeing Qiao Ruoqing's fingertips gently caressing from the upper of her shoes, afraid that she would be sad, Shi Shi hurriedly said to the salesman: "You go and get busy first, if we see that there is a suitable one, we will call you." ”
The salesman is a thirty-year-old eldest sister, and the time for doing this job is not short, and there are many people who have seen it, and I know that some customers don't like the salesperson to follow, so I didn't think much about it, and said with a smile, "Then you have something to call me", and then politely withdrew.
After the salesman left, Shi Shi looked at Qiao Ruoqing again, and spoke in a low voice, "Ruoqing, your legs will be fine...... After a while, I will definitely be able to ......."
"It's okay." Qiao Ruoqing, who was originally staring intently at the dancing shoes, suddenly turned her head, looked at Shi Shi with a shallow smile on her face, and said lightly.
At this moment, she looks like a blooming summer flower, so delicate and beautiful under the scorching sun that it makes people feel distressed.
Shi Shi pursed the corners of her lips, and the emotions in her heart kept surging, "Ruoqing, I know you like to dance......"
"That's a lot of time ago." Looking down at her legs, she smiled again, "It doesn't matter if you can jump in the future." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the other dancing shoes casually.
She knew that Shi Shi thought she was sad.
But what is there for her to be upset? After injuring her leg in her previous life, she was directly crippled, and since then she has never stood up, let alone danced.
So for dance, she is no longer as obsessed and persistent as before, not to mention, now she has more important things to do.
Today, she just came in on a whim because she suddenly saw this specialty store and was reminded of some past events.
Afraid that Shi Shi would worry about herself, Qiao Ruoqing looked at her casually for a while and then grabbed her wrist, "It's nothing to look at, let's go, let's go eat, didn't you say you're hungry?" ”
There is a restaurant on the seventh floor of the mall, Qiao Ruoqing and Shi Shi used to come often, and Qiao Ruoqing was still a VIP.
Because they are regular customers here, as soon as they arrive, the manager comes to greet them personally.
Qiao Ruoqing suddenly felt that she was in a very good mood.
Recently, she has been busy with the company's affairs, and she has no time to enjoy life, and she hasn't come out to shop for a long time.
If it weren't for meeting Qiao Ruolan and Qin Xiao, she felt that today was really a perfect day.
Qiao Ruolan and Qin Xiao came after she and Shi Shi finished ordering.
As soon as she saw Qiao Ruolan, Shi Shi's face changed, "Ruoqing......"
"It's fine." Qiao Ruoqing smiled at Shi Shi as if soothingly, turned her eyes away from the door, and directly ignored the existence of those two people.
